National Garden Week
The week of April 20-26 will be
celebrated all over the country
this year as National Garden

dorsed It, and the governors of
nine states either have proclaimed
it, or will do so.

Seasonal Pointers By Men
Who are Constantly on
Lookout for Them
(Following are some excerpts
from current bulletins of the de
partment of industrial journalism
of the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege.) Field .peas to be successful
must be planted early. February
and March seeding is important
in the Willamette , valley. ' March
and April in the coast region and
the high irrigated districts, and
March in the Columbia basin if the
maximum yields are to be ob
tained. Good grass mixtures for spring
sowing to establish permanent pas
tures are as follows: Six pounds
of English rye grass, 3 pounds
each of Kentucky blue grass, or
chard grass, tall pat grass, red
clover, 2 pounds timothy, and one
pound white clover to the acre on
well drained soils. On wet heavy
soils use 8 pounds of English ryo
grass, 3 pounds each of red-top
and orchard grass, 2 pounds of
alsike clover and 1 pound of white
clover per acre. . Sowing should
take place early if the grass is to
be well established.
Selection of vegetable varieties
before planting time may prevent
much grief at harvest time. Se
lect not only according to season,
locality and soil, but also consider
market requirements of size,
shape, color and quality. It is
easy now to determine what are
going to be the demanded varie
ties. Grow what "is wanted. A
suggested list of varieties can be
obtained from the section of vege
table gardening at O.A.C,
Asparagus once planted is good
for many years. It is one of the
first vegetables to be ready for
use in the spring. It will grow
well under a variety of soil and
climatic conditions. Asparagus is
best when served within a few
hours after cutting, hence its add
cd value as a farm vegetable.

As warm weather approaches th

should be made at least twice

DID YOU KNOW that Salem ought to be the center of a
great bean growing and shipping industry; that the raising
of green beans for dehydration and canning should be a very
important branch of our farming; that there is a chance for
this district to make a great name and large profits in
growing salad beans for the world markets; that beans make
a profitable crop to grow, in rotation with other crops, and
as a succession crop, that they are a leguminous crop and
improve the soil; and that there will in time be vast room in
the Salem district for many more bean growers?
nature of brown rot and related
troubles, natural conditions pro
moting and retarding growth, and
the control measures and mate
rials used are the main topics dis
cussed. This is the first material
put out on brown rot in Oregon
for nearly 15 years. The circular
is well illustrated. It is distrib
uted free and may be obtained by
writing to the college at Corvallis
and requesting experiment station

Silage that is unrelished by the
cattle may be doctored and fed
successfully and without much

Silage should be cut when the
natural juices are still in the

the good, clear acia flavor which
is desirable.

The Pacific Coast Produces
the Entire Crop Grown in
the United States
(The following article appeared
in the San Francisco Chronicle of
Monday, February 25. Mr. Horst
is well known among the hop
growers of the Salem district,
which Is the largest hop growing
district in the United States and
Oregon the largest hop growing
state; and the article will be in
teresting on this account to many
Statesman readers.)
By E. CLEMEN'S HORST
The "unexpected" In hop prices
happens so frequently that the
"expected" rarely happens. It is,
therefore, no surprise that during
the current season hop prices ad
vanced from 12 cents to 30 cents.
then dropped to 18 cents, and
again advanced to the present
price of about 30 cents, with 40
cent prices in prospect. These vio
lent fluctuations have all happened
within the course of six months.
The annual production of hops
varies widely. Only a few years
ago the Pacific Coast, which now
produces all the hops grown in the
United States, raised about 340,
000 bales, while last year the crop
was only 75,000 bales, and yet,
with so small a crop in prospect,
many farmers had to accept 12
cents per pound in order to raise
money to grow their hop crop.
Within the past five years Cali
fornia hops of substantially the
same quality have sold as low as
10 cents and as high as $1.10 per
pound. Yet, with prices at times
ranging at seemingly fabulous fig
ures, very few hop growers have
been able to survive the strain of
low prices, because in nearly ev-

ery year. the bulk of the hop crop
Reaves the; growers hands when
prices are at their low level.
The principal reasons for hop
growers usually going broke, un
less they '"have sufficient resources
outside of hops, are that the in
vestment necessary to engage in
hop growing is exceptionally large.
The high trellis of poles and
wire rns into S200 per acre. the
hop roots into another $30 per
acre; the cost of planting and
tending till the hops come into
bearing is another very heavy ex
pense, besides which there must be
erected hop kilns and cooling
houses, and there must be bought
a vast amount of equipment, all of
which is of little or no value ex
cept for hop growing.
The cost per acre for growing
each crop runs extremely high,
the bad feature of which is that
the crop must be raised each year
regardless of the price obtainable
for hops, because unless the hops
are properly grown and tendeu.
